  FIG. 1 (A) Chest X-ray showing an ill-defined mass (arrow), (B) Reconstruction view of the chest computed tomography showing an enhanced conglomerated tortuous vascular mass (asterisk), connecting the pulmonary artery and vein, (C) Angiogram showing vessels feeding the PAVM (arrow), (D) Three Amplatzer vascular plugs placed to obliterate the PAVM (arrow).

• 

  FIG. 2 (A) Follow-up angiogram showing a recurred vessel (arrow) feeding the PAVM adjacent to occluding devices, (B) Post-occlusion angiogram shows a complete occlusion of the recurred PAVM with a new Amplatzer vascular plug (black arrow), and five Interlocking detachable coils (open arrow).
